There really needs to be some kind of capital punishment for companies pushing bullshit like this and deliberately misleading customers. As a bonus we would also get rid of homeopathy and MLMs.
EDIT: Not capital punishment for the people involved obviously, but the companies should be severely sanctioned. Possibly even closed. The involved management should be prohibited from holding management positions in the future for 10 years or more. Oh, and all bonuses paid out since the fraud started should be reclaimed with personal fines.
